Reactions and Reviews
Overall I enjoyed the three stories, but I do have some complaints. If I wanted to read K/S, I'd pull out one of a zillion K/S zines I own. Blake is bashed in this. Hey, this Blake is so totally untrustworthy and so stupid that everyone, including Avon, wonders why Avon loves him. And this Avon is rather "off." I guess I just don't see him cooking up a storm, talking babytalk, and weeping hysterically....
Quite original in some ways. Way to much K/Siness. And I absolutely did not like the end. This is not a Bizarro story. (I love them, but their weird over-the-top zaniness does not belong as a conclusion to this trilogy. [1]
The relationship between Cally and Jenna is described more fully in the sequel, 'Coming Out of the Dark', although Randell mainly concentrates on Jenna's decision to have a child with Blake - the result of a night where Avon simultaneously makes love to Cally, who muses afterwards that, 'if she'd have any idea, even the slightest inkling that a man could be such an incredible lover, and that Avon was such a man, she'd have thrown herself at him years ago... Jenna was her partner, her love, but Avon would always hold a piece of her heart.' [2]
